MTU engineers work with a cost-effective PRIMERGY-based high performance computing cluster

"With energy-efficient, cost-effective servers and reliable service before and after purchase, Fujitsu has once again been able to provide MTU with a new Linux high performance cluster."

The challenge

To calculate air flow in engines, MTU, a longstanding German aircraft engine manufacturer, requires systems that provide good value for money for the necessary computing power over their entire lifespan. Energy costs, expected repair charges and the hardware prices play just as crucial a role in its decisions as the advice it receives on the systems required.
